Currently there are six driveway curb cuts within 400 feet of the intersection of County Road (CR) 83 and 12th Avenue. In conjunction with the CR 83 reconstruction project, the City of Shakopee explored a driveway consolidation along 12th Avenue, east of CR 83. Efforts were made with several businesses to reduce the number of driveways in the area to make a safer corridor for drivers.

While the city was not able to accomplish everything it desired, staff was able to come to an agreement with a property owner, United Properties, on the north side of the roadway to relocate one of their driveways. The relocation will push the driveway east approximately 250 feet and will serve to reduce the number of conflicting movements that are seen at the current location.

If this agreement is approved, staff will obtain quotes from contractors to complete the work and construction will take place in summer 2023.
